Zoomer Generation Can End Not Only Trumpism but also Conservatism as We Know It

[Zohranism is OUR future]

The party will change as will the movement.
Trumpism likely will fall out of fashion, but the GOP can easily pivot and be viable in the long run.
The GOP of tomorrow will have to have a real plan for Climate Change and will need to be more “diversity oriented”. Both of those are possible and will allow for the GOP to survive another generation.

 Conservatism is inherent like personality traits and also shaped by environment. We see it occur in nearly every form of government on Earth. There will always be an American conservative party, it will probably get worse(nationalistic, racist,violent) before it gets better.

But I was told that Gen Z was supposed to secretly be conservative! How much longer until we start to hear the Republicans say that Generation Alpha will be the new torch-bearers of conservatism?

Conservatism isn't going anywhere because it's always defined in relation to the median, same as liberalism. 2020 conservatives are obviously much more "liberal" than 1940 conservatives, but they are conservatives all the same

Ummmm no, the modern GOP is in no way to the left of people like Thomas Dewey or Wendell Willkie, this is totally absurd, if anything they've moved to the far right since the Reaganites hijacked the party in 1980 and have stayed there ever since.

This take is at least twenty years old.

Half of Gen Z still isn’t even old enough to vote, so I don’t see how this disproves anything

The GOP has only become more and more conservative over the past 50 years, I don't see why they'd change anytime soon.

And they have too much financial interest in the oil industry accept climate change.

Weren't there lots of this kind of "conservatism is dead" articles in like 2008? I think the same will happen here and everyone will wonder what happened in 2022.

This is somewhat different because 2008 was when most of the Millennial generation was finally able to vote, and conventional wisdom is that people get more conservative as they age - Gen X did. But that hasn't happened with Millennials. Millennials are now the age where Gen X made the "switch" - but they've stated consistently Democratic.

People do get more conservative as they age - but the combined effects of the trauma of the financial crisis, which is the defining event of millennials' lives, and the radicalization of the Republican Party, has kept them in the Democratic tent.
